Luke J. Lynch

Luke J. Lynch, 37 of Pottsville, died Tuesday at home.

He was son of Elaine Miller Lynch Hafer, Pottsville and the late Lawrence J. Lynch.

He was a 2006 graduate of Pottsville Area High School and a graduate of Penn State University.

Luke was employed by Hawk Mountain Labs, Hazleton and most recently Big Lot’s Distribution, High Ridge Park.

He was of Christian faith.

Throughout his life Luke loved the outdoors and nature, as well as having a keen eye for photography. Appreciating music, he was especially fond of bluegrass music and bands. 

Holidays, birthdays, and special occasions were always a joyful family time and Luke’s presence, and easy-going smile will surely be missed. His sister, Jade, and cousins, Mariah and Hannah, will treasure the memories of the “Christmas gift exchange” and table games.

Surviving in addition to mother are his sister, Jade Lynch, Pottsville; stepfather, Greg Hafer, Pottsville; 2 stepbrothers, Brandon Hafer, and his wife, Ashley, Chesapeake, VA; Alex Hafer and his wife Brandy, Grand Junction, CO; aunts, uncles, cousins.

Services celebrating Luke’s life will be held Wednesday at 11AM from Freedom of Christ Church, Pottsville, with Pastors Mark Hochgertel, Jim Shields, and Greg Hafer officiating. Family and friends are invited to visitation from 9AM until the time of services. Interment will follow in Calvary Cemetery, Pottsville. Because Luke liked to help people with rides and in time of need, the family would prefer remembrances in the form of contributions in memory of Luke be made to Freedom in Christ Church of Schuylkill County, 1850 First Ave, Pottsville, PA 17901 designated for local outreach.

Arrangements are under the care of James E. Humphrey Funeral Home, Pottsville.
